HIFU Skin Tightening Without Surgery

HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a skin tightening and collagen-stimulating technology using high-intensity ultrasound waves, without surgery and without downtime.

How Does HIFU Work?

HIFU stands for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is a medical device that delivers high-frequency, high-intensity ultrasound waves, focused as tiny dots in a straight line, penetrating deep into various skin layers.

Heat from the ultrasound waves (approximately 60-70 degrees Celsius) causes tissues to contract, similar to tightening the skin. The main highlight of HIFU is its ability to deliver energy deep into the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer, which is the muscular connective tissue layer that surgeons target during a surgical facelift. Therefore, a HIFU treatment is comparable to a facelift without incisions.

Who is HIFU Suitable For? What Problems Does It Help Address?

• Those with sagging skin: lacking firmness, or starting to show nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
• Those with an undefined facial contour: having a double chin under the chin. HIFU helps dissolve some fat and tighten tissues, making the jawline sharper (V-shape).
• Those looking to reduce wrinkles around the eyes: helping to lift brows and reduce upper eyelid sagging.
• Those who fear needles or surgery: and have no time for recovery (no downtime).

Why Get HIFU at Kazumi Clinic?

There are various grades of HIFU machines on the market. At Kazumi Clinic, we use standard-certified equipment that delivers stable and precise energy (Macro & Micro Focused Ultrasound). Most importantly, the procedure is performed by medical specialists.

• The doctor will analyze your facial structure and select the appropriate cartridges (depth) for each skin area (e.g., 4.5 mm for the SMAS layer, 3.0 mm for the collagen stimulation layer).
• The doctor will customize the number of shots and the vectoring direction (lifting) to achieve optimal results without causing a hollowed face or overly prominent cheekbones.

Self-Care After HIFU

• Immediately after treatment, there may be mild redness, which will resolve on its own in 1-2 hours. You can apply makeup and return to work immediately.
• You may feel a deep ache under the skin or a slight tingling/stinging sensation along the jawline and teeth (similar to a toothache). This is normal and will gradually subside within 1-2 weeks.
• Apply moisturizer and sunscreen regularly, and avoid hot lasers for about 1 month.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does HIFU hurt? A: Anesthetic cream will be applied before the procedure. During the treatment, you will feel warmth and a deep tingling/aching sensation along the jawline, which is a good sign that the energy is reaching the SMAS layer. It is a manageable sensation. Q: When will I see results, and how long do they last? A: You will see about 20-30% of the lifting result immediately after the treatment. The results will gradually become clearer within 1-3 months once the body fully produces new collagen. Results usually last about 6 months to 1 year (we recommend having 1-2 sessions per year to maintain the firm and lifted state).

Medical Disclaimer: Results may vary from person to person, and must always be assessed by a doctor prior to treatment.
